one of the rating agencies say they need to see progress by mid-july, maybe july 22. how can they ask for that seven-day layover given the compressed time frames? >> we have been seeing these time frames come at ut for months. we have been seeing them since the first of the year. i called for the president to lay out a historic approach to our spending in his state of the union. he did not. he talked about investments, more spending. i said you should do it in your budget. the budget made it worst and increased spending, more than the taxes and made the deficit more than had he not done anything. we are leding into the last hours of the deadline that's been set by the administration, august 2, and we have seen nothing. and i'm really flabbergasted and i don't believe republicans are to blame for this. i believe the i believe the white house, if they have a plan, ought to be proud to bring it forth. the majority leaders should be proud to bring it forth and let's begin to look at it and debate it and all the serious consequences that would accrue from not having raised
